The refrigerator light goes on...

Look to maximize the key flavor of an ingredient like the tahini without using too much. By combining less tahini with the non-fat yogurt it's easy to bring down the calorie and fat count.

Garbanzo Beans

Also called Chickpeas, these are small legumes a little larger than a pea. They are beige colored and have a creamy, nutty flavor. They are nearly perfect nutritionally, being high in carbohydrate and having modest amounts of protein and low in fat. They are low in saturated fat. A staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, they are sold dried or canned.

2 ounces dried garbanzos = 206 calories, 3g fat, <1g sat fat, <1g mono fat, 11g protein, 34g carbohydrates, 13mg sodium, 0mg cholesterol
